Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center of Napa - Wheel Alignment near Petaluma CA
Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center of Napa believes strongly that every vehicle owner should get regular wheel alignments. Some people get these twice a year. Others get them once a year. And then there are those owners who neglect this maintenance their vehicle's entire life and then come in to have expensive suspension system and steering system repairs. We want you to be one of the lucky owners who discovers the benefits of a good wheel alignment near Petaluma.
What Exactly is a Wheel Alignment?
It's amazing that there are still some folks out there not familiar with wheel alignments, but it's never too late to learn. Your wheels are attached to your vehicle's suspension system. They're the part you see and the part that sometimes determines the lifespan of your suspension. Tires and wheels need to be attached at the right angles in order to wear properly and avoid damaging the rest of the suspension.
When you buy a vehicle, its wheels are perfectly aligned and where they should be. During the course of everyday driving, things happen. A single pothole or bad maneuver can cause the wheels to be at an off or even dangerous angle with your suspension system. At Quick Lane Tire & Auto Center of Napa, we perform a professional wheel alignment near Petaluma and get your wheels aligned as they should be again. This pays off in a big way.
Benefits of a Wheel Alignment
Drivers near Petaluma will love the way their vehicle drives after wheel alignments. We recommend getting at least one of these inexpensive alignments per year, but many people get this service every six months. It gives a big boost to your vehicle's performance.
1. Better steering
Steering a vehicle with a bad alignment is like a wrestling match. The vehicle can feel like it's drifting during cornering, or for really serious misalignments, the vehicle might vibrate.
2. Better tires
A bad alignment can negatively impact the lifespan of your tires. They might wear unevenly and wear out early. The simple wheel alignment near Petaluma can keep your tires on the road for longer and help the treads hold up better during their time on the road.
3. Efficiency
It's a surprise to some people that the wear of your tires can actually affect fuel consumption. The harder your model has to work, the more fuel it's going to burn over time, and a bad alignment can really do a number on tires. With your tires wearing away more quickly, fuel consumption goes up.
4. Better handling
A model that's out of alignment doesn't handle very well. If the alignment is bad enough, it can even be dangerous to drive the vehicle. When it comes to safety, having a perfectly aligned set of wheels is one of the most important things you can do for your vehicle and yourself.
5. Suspension system benefits
Your suspension system keeps your vehicle on the road. If it goes, your vehicle isn't going to be drivable. If you want to delay or even prevent expensive suspension system repairs, regular alignment services can help you do that. You'll have a suspension system that performs better and lives longer.
